Here is the funny part. They and others have always had the funds for this and yet never gave before.

Racism is not a new problem. Why all of a sudden now?

Because it is a big f’ing pander and virtue signal.

It’s because they face a blacklist and hate group classification if they don’t.

The spreadsheet that shook the theater world: Marie Cisco’s ‘Not Speaking Out’ list
LA Times ^ | June 9, 2020 | Jessica Galt

Marie Cisco was fed up. America was in turmoil, rocked to its core by the brutal killing of George Floydat the knee of a police officer in Minneapolis. Protests against systemic racism and injustice had been raging for five days, and the nation’s theaters were excruciatingly silent in expressing support. Cisco, a producer who has worked with the New York-based National Black Theatre, the Public Theater, Lee Daniels Entertainment and the Apollo Theater, was not surprised by the crickets coming from these institutions — self-professed bastions of liberalism and equality — but she felt hurt and angry all the same. So Cisco created a public Google spreadsheet and titled it “Theaters Not Speaking Out.” It was open for anyone to edit, and it had a simple directive: “Add names to this document who have not made a statement against injustices toward black people.”
